Καστέλι Αγ. Νικολάου Απανωμερίας

Κατά το Μεσαίωνα, στην Οία υπήρχε ένα από τα «Καστέλια» του νησιού: το «Καστέλι του Αγίου Νικολάου».
Υπάρχουν αναφορές για την ύπαρξη του κάστρου από το 1480. Προφανώς άρχισε να διαμορφώνεται λίγο νωρίτερα, την περίοδο που οι Ενετοί ήταν οι κυρίαρχοι του νησιού.
Από το καστέλι του Αγίου Νικολάου στην Οία σήμερα σώζεται ένα κομμάτι του γουλά (πύργου). Πήρε το όνομά του από υπόσκαφη εκκλησία αφιερωμένη στον Άγιο Νικόλαο και χτίστηκε γύρω στο 1450.
Το καστέλι υπέστη μεγάλες ζημιές από το σεισμό του 1956 και ένα μεγάλο μέρος του παραδοσιακού οικισμού υποχώρησε στη θάλασσα κάτω από την καλντέρα. Μεγάλοι Ναοί, όπως η εκκλησία του Αγίου Γεωργίου και της Παναγίας της Πλατσανής καταστράφηκαν ολοσχερώς.
Παρόλο λοιπόν που δεν σώζονται πολλά πράγματα από το κάστρο, το σημείο αυτό είναι από τα πιο τουριστικά μέρη της Ελλάδας. Είναι το σημείο όπου καταφτάνουν κάθε απόγευμα άνθρωποι απ’ όλο τον κόσμο για να δουν το ηλιοβασίλεμα.

In the Middle Ages, in the period that Santorini was a Venetian possession, Oia was one of the 'Kastelia' (fortified settlements) of the island. It was called "Kasteli of Agios Nikolaos". The castle is mentioned in a document dated in 1480. Oia suffered harshly in the earthquake of 1956 and much of the traditional settlement tumbled into the sea below the caldera. Resplendent sanctuaries such as the church of Agios Georgios and Panagia of Platsanis were completely destroyed and only a small part of the castle remained.
Nowadays the site of the Kasteli in Oia is a favourite spot for sunset watching.
